Travelift Arrives in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana!
The Marine Travelift donated by the City of Valdez, Alaska crossed the bridge into Plaquemines, Louisiana on 27 February 2006. Arrangements were made by the Alaska Fishing Industry Relief Mission to tranport the lift on a Carlile Transportation truck from Valdez to Houston, Texas. The lift was picked up on Saturday by Packard Trucking and made it to Empire today. A representive of Marine Travelift will fly down on March 6th to assist in the reassemby of the lift. A dedication is planned in Empire on March the 15th, which will be attended by our Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski. A job well done by all concerned. The lift will be used to help with the recovery of commercial fishing vessels washed ashore by hurricane Katrina.
